3 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Introduction In the first three years following the turn of the century, North American businesses faced a series of catastrophic business disruptions. The threat of terrorism within North America became a reality on September 11, 2001, creating new concerns about worksite security and evacuation plans. In April 2003, an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ( SARS ) in Toronto raised a number of difficult challenges for health care providers, but also affected companies outside the health care industry. Businesses were faced with the challenge of continuing regular operations, largely without a contingency plan in place for employees to follow to avoid spreading the disease. In many cases, policies were hastily drafted and the Province s quarantine protocol was not readily understood, resulting in co-workers being subjected to voluntary quarantine. In August 2003, the lights went out in businesses in Southern Ontario and the Northern United States. The massive power outage and ensuing power shortage was the third major disruption to business operations in less than three years. Power shortages and terrorism persist as concerns and now increasing attention is being given to the prospect of an influenza pandemic sweeping the globe and causing serious illness and death. Scientists are predicting that another pandemic influenza will likely occur sometime in the next few years. The last three pandemics occurred in (Spanish), (Asian) and (Hong Kong) Estimates suggest that up to 35 % of the population in Ontario will be infected with pandemic influenza. Of the people infected, up to 4 million will be clinically ill and 12,000 will die. 2 Clearly, Ontario s business community is at risk. It is therefore critical that businesses have a Business Continuity Plan in place in the event of a catastrophic event, whether related to terrorism, power supply, natural disaster or a pandemic influenza outbreak. A recent survey suggests many large corporations have developed contingency plans but many small and medium sized businesses have not.

4 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Unlike natural disasters, where any disruption to business service provision is likely to be hardwarerelated, disruption to business operations in the event of a pandemic will be mainly human-resource oriented. Businesses should plan for up to 50 percent staff absences for periods of about two weeks at the height of a severe pandemic wave, and lower levels of staff absence for a few weeks either side of the peak. Overall a pandemic wave may last about eight weeks. 3 The information contained in this toolkit has been prepared to assist businesses in planning and preparing for the potential influenza pandemic. Nonetheless, the guidelines and resources referenced herein will also assist your business in planning for and responding to catastrophic events more generally. Staff absences can be expected for many reasons: Personal illness/incapacity Employees may need to stay at home to care for ill family members People may feel safer at home (avoiding crowded public places) Others may need to stay at home to look after school-aged children (schools are likely to be closed) (Source: Influenza Pandemic: Continuity Planning Guide for Canadian Business, March 2006, Page 6) In fact, Bill 56, which amends the province s Emergency Management Act, also amended the Employment Standards Act, 2000 to provide for job protected leaves of absence for employees in urgent circumstances. That is, an employee may be entitled to leave work where the provincial government declares an "emergency", which is broadly defined as: A situation or an impending situation that constitutes a danger of major proportions that could result in serious harm to persons or substantial damage to property and that is caused by the forces of nature, a disease or other health risk, an accident or an act whether intentional or otherwise; In such circumstances, the government may authorize (but not require) any person to provide services for which they are qualified. Such persons are expressly protected from termination during this period (unless for reasons unrelated to their absence to provide such services). 3 Influenza Pandemic: Continuity Planning Guide for Canadian Business, March 2006, Page 6 2
5 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT During the emergency, employees may request a leave of absence but only for the following specific reasons: 1. Because they are the subject of an emergency order by the government to perform certain work; 2. Because they are the subject of an order by the government under the Health Protection and Promotion Act; 3. Because they are needed to provide care or assistance to defined relatives; or 4. Because of some other reason later prescribed by regulation Once the emergency is over, the right to a protected leave ceases unless the government passes a regulation specifically providing that the time for leave is being extended because of the effects of the emergency and because of one of the foregoing reasons. The emergency is deemed terminated at the end of the 14th day following its declaration unless extended a further 14 days by order of the government. After this point, the legislature must vote on any further extension and this is limited to a further 28 days. The legislature may also disallow the claimed emergency. A Pandemic may have other impacts on businesses, for example: The provision of essential services like information, telecommunications, and financial services, energy supply, and logistics may be disrupted; Customer orders may be cancelled or may not be able to be filled; Supplies of materials needed for ongoing business activity may be disrupted. Further problems can be expected if goods are imported by air or land over the Canada-US border; The availability of services from sub-contractors may be affected (this may affect maintenance of key equipment, and is an area that merits close planning attention); and, Demand for business services may be affected demand for some services may increase (internet access is a possible example); while demand for others may fall (e.g. certain types of travel activity). (Source: Influenza Pandemic: Continuity Planning Guide for Canadian Business, March 2006, Page 6) 3
6 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT The Bank of Montreal (BMO Nesbitt Burns) Report Indicates: Public meetings are likely to be cancelled by the authorities or because of low attendance Canada s trade status may be compromised Impacts on critical infrastructure impacts are likely to be moderate to serious The tourism industry will be badly affected (Source Influenza Pandemic: Continuity Planning Guide for Canadian Business, March 2006, Page 7) Sectors that depend on heavy foot traffic retail, leisure, gaming, lodging, and restaurant industries could especially take a hit if the avian flu turns into a pandemic. During the SARS outbreak, people avoided densely populated public areas and any place where people congregated in confined spaces. Consumers are likely to cut down on travel and leisure related expenditures, including transportation, hotels, cruises, entertainment, and visits to theme parks and other public venues. 4
7 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Protecting Yourself Against Influenza The flu is spread through direct contact with the secretions from an infected person; either through sneezing, coughing or by touching an object that has been contaminated. The flu virus can live on a surface for up to 48 hours. Consider some of the following precautions to lower the risk of infection: Regular exercise Eat well Get enough rest Keep stress levels in check Wash hands regularly/use alcohol based hand sanitizers if not able to wash hands Get an annual flu vaccine When feeling sick stay home Avoid touching face/eyes Cough/sneeze etiquette: cover mouth and nose; dispose of tissues; wash hands What You Can Do For Your Employees Simple steps can be taken by employers in order to help prevent employees from being infected with the flu virus and spreading it. Consider some of the following steps to assist your employees: Prevention Encourage good hygiene and workplace cleaning habits i.e. have a supply of alcohol based hand sanitizers stationed throughout your business Post tips at your workplace on how to stop the spread of germs at work Encourage employees to stay home when they are sick Encourage employees to get a flu shot Inform employees who travel abroad about how to lower infection risks Have an infection control program that includes policies and procedures for flu prevention and containment 5
8 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Business Planning Communicate with your employees so they understand pandemic illness and preventative measures Communicate with your employees steps your business is taking to prepare for the possibility of a pandemic Cross-train employees to perform essential functions to ensure resiliency Establish or expand policies and tools that enable employees to work from home with appropriate security and network access to applications Develop a Pandemic Plan Regulations under the Occupational Health and Safety Act must also be kept in mind in the event of a pandemic. Both the Industrial Establishment Regulation (Regulation 851) and the Health Care and Residential Facilities Regulation (Regulation 67/93) touch upon the threat to health and safety arising from biological agents and infectious disease. Ministry of Labour guidelines are another potential source of emergency management guidance. For example, following the 2001 terrorist attacks, the Ministry of Labour published its Anthrax Guidelines describing a process for identifying and handling suspicious packages and letters. Although they do not have the force of law, Ministry guidelines are a valid source of reference for attaining compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act as they are issued by the agency responsible for enforcing the Act. 6
9 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT What Is A Business Continuity Pandemic Plan? Business continuity means ensuring that essential business functions can survive a natural disaster, technological failure, human error, or other disruption. Pandemic flu demands a different set of continuity assumptions since it will be widely dispersed geographically and potentially arrive in waves that could last several months at a time. Your Pandemic Plan Should: Identify and safeguard copies of your company s essential corporate records Constitution, bylaws, charters, franchises and orders-in-council Accounts payable and receivable Bank and audit records Capital and fixed assets records Contracts and agreements Licenses and permits Leases, deeds, property and land files Blueprints and technical drawings Inventories Mailing lists Organization charts Financial signing authorities Union agreements Software Supplier listing Insurance policies Procedural manuals Personnel records, payroll documents, pension fund files, salary deduction lists Annual reports Research, technical data and specifications on specialized projects Special agreements with clients Sales records and guarantees Other documents essential to the operation of your business 7
10 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Identify and prioritize key services, critical positions and skills required What and who are essential to keep your business running? What are the core skills required to perform essential functions? Plan for Large Absence (up to 50% at any given time, for up to 18 months) When will portions of the business be shut down? Who will make that decision? Can people work from home? Succession planning and back-up planning: every essential role should have back up and guidelines for decision-making. Protection of Staff Health Infection control practices and flu shots Curtail direct interaction with public if possible Self-screening and quarantine Protective equipment Counseling services Communications & Knowledge Management Identify essential communication networks Internal and External pandemic communication plans Back up essential business information Job/Skills Inventory Identify which employees have the skills, knowledge and experience required to perform critical functions Provide cross-training for critical positions (Source: WSIB Pandemic Planning, Emergency Program Coordinator, WSIB) 8
11 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Where Can I Find Out More Information? In the event of an emergency situation, it is always prudent to consider contacting the local Medical Officer of Health. The Medical Officer of Health is responsible for critical services governed by the Board of Health in each local Health Unit. The Medical Officer of Health is endowed with broad powers under the Health Protection and Promotion Act and these may impact on your business and employees. Depending on the nature of the emergency, a key source of objective information will emanate from Emergency Management Ontario ( EMO ). The EMO is an agency of the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and is responsible for coordinating emergency response activity in the Province. EMO acts pursuant to the Emergency Management Act. The federal Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Preparedness ( OCIPEP ) is the federal equivalent to EMO. It will take a lead role in coordinating information on emergencies that span multiple provinces or have an impact on national infrastructure (e.g. inter-provincial transport, telecommunications, banking etc.). Finally, consider consulting the following resources to assist with your planning and deployment efforts: Ontario Ministry of Health & Long Term Care web-site contains information on the flu pandemic including business planning guidelines. Public Health Agency of Canada web-site dedicated to the Canadian Pandemic Influenza Plan. The web-site does not contain information specifically pertaining to the business community, however, it does have useful information about the pandemic and Canada s national plan. The web-site can be found at: Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters March 2006 CME released a 90 page document titled Continuity Planning Guide for Canadian Business. The guide provides businesses with tools and information that will be required to assist in minimizing the impact of an influenza pandemic on the health and safety of employees, suppliers, customers and the bottom line. The guide can be purchased by individuals for $50.00 or downloaded free of charge at: 9
12 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT Local Health Units Many of the local health units have released pandemic influenza plans for their communities. Some of the plans contain information dedicated to the business community, encouraging them to plan ahead for the pandemic and provides them with some helpful tools and suggestions Many of these guides are available on the local Health Units web-site. Example: Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand - October 2005 Ministry launched on their website two separate guides on web-site to assist business continuity planning for influenza pandemics. Business Continuity Planning Guide, contains a range of information designed for general use by businesses and other organizations in New Zealand aspx Pandemic Planning Information Kit tailored for infrastructure providers in the energy, communications, transport, water and waste sectors. Contains a version of the Planning Guide and some associated documents to assist their planning aspx The web-site can be found at: aspx Ebrp Solutions on-line tool kit and templates that that can be downloaded free of charge to assist businesses with continuity and disaster planning. The web-site can be found at: United States Federal Government Web-site dedicated to the flu pandemic. The web-site contains a section for businesses, providing information about the pandemic as well as a Business Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist. The web-site can be found at: 10
13 PANDEMIC PLANNING TOOL KIT BMO/Nesbitt Burns - Dr. Sherry Cooper released a special report titled Don t Fear/Fear or Panic/Panic, an economist s view of pandemic flu. The report includes information about the pandemic along with economic implications. A portion of the report is dedicated to the business community with recommended steps businesses can take to maintain business continuity. The web-site can be found at: Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) Web-site contains a Pandemic Preparedness Checklist for companies and businesses.
